don't they make it clear that they will help finance any primary challenger running against MoscowMitch, Collins, Ernst, Gardner, McSally, and Tills? The major threat to our democracy is an acquitted Trump. He will see the acquittal as a green flag. And I think we haven't seen the worst from him yet

Those folks (other than MoscowMitch aka MM) are worried about holding their seat. MoscowMitch is holding the threat of supporting a primary challenger over their heads, the vote with us or else threat!

Knowing they would get financial support from the two money guys might make it a whole lot easier to do the right thing.

News reports have said Bloomberg has already spent a quarter of a billion on advertising.

Who knows what Steyer has spent.
